Uganda, after an impressive bowling performance towards the latter half of the Afghanistan innings, were brought back to Earth by a scintillating first over from Fazalhaq Farooqi.

The left-arm seamer channeled his inner Shaheen Afridi and bowled two peach of deliveries to grab a couple of wickets in the first over of the Uganda innings.

Chasing a tricky 184, Uganda were hopeful of a cautious start, but that didn't happen as Farooqi had some other plan with his two dream deliveries. He started the demolition job with the wicket of Ronak Patel. The Afghan pacer bowled an in-swinger an the batter gets beaten on the inside-edge as the ball crashed onto the stumps.

In his next delivery, Farooqi bowled yet another in-swinger, and this time the victim was Roger Mukasa, who failed to get a bat on it as the ball thuds him on the front leg. The two deliveries reminded fans of Shaheen Afridi, who is known to get wickets early in the innings with incoming deliveries.

Talking about the match, Afghanistan posted 183/5, courtesy, half-centuries from Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran. At one stage, the Afghan side were on the course to breach the 200-run mark, but some inspirational bowling restricted them to under 190.
